Itemized List of Weights (for the purpose of weight reduction)


Recommended Posts

Is there some reason your "table" doesn't list O.E.M. parts and weights next to the weight of the part(s) you replaced them with? This isn't a table, it's a series of lists that one must read through and struggle with to extract any meaningful information. I will do this and post a spreadsheet that actually show a "table" of comparisons so that one can actually use it at a glance.

 

Well, to answer your question as honestly as I can: At the time that I started it I didn't realize just what it would turn into. If I knew how to program for spreadsheet, maybe I would have thought to start on a different platform.

 

As to why I have not changed it or updated it: After a few weeks the post can not be changed. I can't add to it or alter it in any way.

 

I thought about changing it so that I can have it show a table that's hosted on another server. I even wrote the HTML code and posted it to the internet. I asked a moderater to change it for me. I tested my code in a temp posting here and made it work, set him the code. He said he chabged it for me I can't see any change. So, this became an abandoned topic on my part.

 

You're welcome to use what I posted in any way you like. Just try to avoid the pitfalls I fell into.

Nice! I'd say that should get cross posted here, but it got moved to the FAQ section, which can't be posted in :-( 

 

 

 

 

 

 I moved it to the FAQ.  I tried to keep it here too but couldn't get that to work.

@JMortensen yessir. 1/4” front (rules call out 6mm). 1/8”/3mm everywhere else. 
 

i have more weights. Just need to dig up old photos of my scale with stuff on it. 
 

clark, looking forward to your weights as well. This stuff helps determine where the time and money should be spent.
